Research into experiences of trans/non-binary survivors of sexual violence
Are you a trans or non-binary survivor of sexual violence? Do you work with trans or non-binary survivors? Survivors' Network is conducting research into the experiences of transgender and non-binary survivors of sexual violence.
It is hoped that this research (which is the first of its kind in the UK) will help to improve support services for trans and non-binary survivors. The research will include interviews conducted by phone, Skype or in person with trans and non-binary survivors and the professionals who work with them. All interviews are anonymous and focus on the support received, rather than the violence experienced.
If you would like to participate in any of these interviews or focus groups, please email dropin@survivorsnetwork.org.uk.
You can also complete an online questionnaire at www.tinyurl.com/transsv. It is completely anonymous. Please complete the survey by 31st October 2013. Participants may win a £50 Amazon Voucher.
If you have any questions about the research or would like more information, please email dropin@survivorsnetwork.org.uk or visit http://www.survivorsnetwork.org.uk/47/Research.aspx.
Alternatively, you can email Sally Rymer at sally.rymer@gmail.com.
